Son Huasteco is a traditional Mexican musical style originating in the area of Northeastern Mexico called La Huasteca. Usually it is played by a Trio Huasteco composed of a Quinta Huapanguera (five stringed guitar-like) a Jarana Huasteca (a stringed instrument related to the jarana) and a violin, singers will often use the falsetto register. The son Huasteco is particularly noteworthy for its flamboyant and virtuoso violin parts. Two different dances are often danced to Son Huasteco: the Zapateado and the Huapango. Originally it is a development of the cuban son, flamenco and indigenous music of the Huastec people.
